Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
The best response by the nurse would be to say, Would it help you to talk with people who have tried those treatments themselves? The nurse is using the technique of suggestion, which is used to encourage a client to consider a specific option or asking the client to consider an alternate means of coping with a particular situation.
